Blown coolant line.....Another reason to HATE @#$%$# Audis

A small coolant line let loose while driving the fam in the A6 2.7T. To remove this tiny short section of hose, wouldn't you know it.... the whole front of the car needed to come off!!

While the front end is off (took me all afternoon to remove it), I will be changing the waterpump, timing belt, misc hoses, serp belt and I will fix the leaking cam shaft seals. Hopefully that will insure that I do not have to do this again for awhile. I don't even want to think how much this all would cost at the Audi dealership.


If you have a 2000 or so Audi that is out of warranty and you are not into DIY torture, I highly suggest you dump it fast!
